Filipino Wedding Ceremony

I really enjoyed viewing a Filipino wedding ceremony. It varies quite a bit from traditional wedding in the States. If you are looking for special rituals to add to your wedding, check out some of the wonderful symbolism in a Filipino wedding. Looking online, I found a site that explained things pretty well – click here. Check it out if you get a chance.   The website is to the point and explains everything pretty simply.  If you have another website please share it as I love learning more about different ceremonial traditions.

I love that towards the end of the ceremony, the bride and groom both said something special to their parents and gave them gifts. It was nice to have that moment to give thanks and appreciation to their parents. The wedding day flies by so fast so having this special time I thought was very touching.
